Can you assemble a PAX wardrobe in a Kew alcove?
Send the PAX frame and door references, plus the alcove width at floor, mid and top height. Include the lowest ceiling reading and any skirting, sill or cornice. We can use those measurements and the product instructions to discuss how much space the build needs.
What do I send for furniture assembly in Kew TW9?
Send the full postcode, the retailer’s item list and a picture of the room if access or clearance is tight. Tell us which cartons are already in the room, whether there is an old unit to dismantle and where the fitter can park for the appointment.
Can the frame sit clear of the window?
A wardrobe can fit the floor plan and still catch a projecting sill higher up. Measure from the wall to the front edge of the sill and check where the cornice begins. If you have skirting behind the proposed frame, record its depth separately. Include a picture from the doorway so we can see what is beside the unit as well as what is behind it.
If the wardrobe sits near a window, allow room for the curtain or blind to move. Check that you can reach the window handle after the wardrobe has been positioned. A wall-to-wall drawing can hide the space taken up by a door handle or a bracket. If you want to keep a gap for access, mark it on the sketch and measure from a fixed point the fitter can identify.
For a run of frames, measure the proposed height at both ends rather than in the middle only. If the floor slopes, give the smallest clearance and show the position of the door swing. Ask before removing fixed trim or drilling. Any agreed furniture restraint needs suitable fixings and permission for the actual wall, whether the property is rented, managed or owned.
Kew wardrobe preparation checklist
- Measure to the sill and cornice separately.
- Find the complete PAX planner and order references.
- Keep each set of fittings with its labelled pack.
- Confirm the intended door swing and wall fixing.
| Before the visit | Measure or identify |
|---|---|
| Bay window | Sill projection and distance to wardrobe door |
| Alcove | Width at floor, mid and top height |
| Route | Length of door carton and tightest stair turn |
Start with the cartons that are actually on site
For PAX or another modular range, send the order and the planner drawing if you have one. Mark each frame width and the door style. The model names of baskets, hinges and rails also matter when they are sold separately. Check the carton labels against the list rather than assuming a large delivery contains every part.
Lay out the unopened packs by frame if the labels make that practical. Do not put the longest pack against the only way into the bedroom. If the drawers arrived in a separate delivery, take a picture of the carton numbers and check them against the order. Keep instructions with the model they belong to. If you bought used furniture, identify any fixings that were removed or lost.
A missing handle and a missing structural fitting have different effects. Photograph the carton label and the affected piece and keep the packaging for the retailer. Tell us which other items are ready to build, such as a freestanding chest or bedside table. We can discuss the order of work so the complete pieces are finished without assuming an incomplete frame can be used.
Set out the frame before installing the interiors
Keep the first frame accessible
We check the maker’s assembly instructions, the frame location and the available floor space before laying out the panels. Where several frames will sit together, we agree which piece to start with. It may be useful to leave the smaller furniture until later so the fitter has room to move around the sides and position the frames as intended.
Check doors, drawers and access together
Try the doors and drawers with the fitter before you fill the storage. Check that the window, curtains and any nearby control remain accessible in the agreed position. Keep the manual and the remaining fittings labelled. If a retailer part is on order, identify the affected section and agree what is still outstanding.
| At handover | Check the position |
|---|---|
| Hinged front | Opens past sill, blind or adjacent wall |
| Drawer interior | Runs freely once the front is open |
| Freestanding chest | Drawers and nearby room door clear one another |
Choose the route from outside to the room
Share the address, floor and the route from the vehicle. A narrow bend at the bottom of a stair can be more restrictive than the room doorway. Measure the longest pack against both turns. If your supplier will stop at the main door, say where the boxes will wait and whether we need to discuss moving them.
If a shared passage or side gate forms part of the route, confirm how it will be opened on the day. Note the width with the gate open and check whether the approach includes a step. There may be room to carry a flat carton through the gate even if a boxed wardrobe door cannot turn immediately inside it. Tell us about any corner that is hard to photograph.
Check the parking signs at the actual stopping place. If you are coordinating collection and assembly, tell us whether the same location works for unloading and for parking while the work is under way. Confirm any private-space permission with the person who manages it. The fitter needs a clear route from the legal stopping point to the property, including time to move tools and the longer cartons.
Get an estimate for the frames and internals
Tell us how many frames, doors and interior fittings you want assembled. A tall frame, a narrow room and a long row of drawers can change the time and staffing needed. If there is an old wardrobe to dismantle, list that separately and say whether its fixings must be saved for reuse. We can discuss collection, paid parking and the assembly estimate before you book.
See assembly prices and IKEA furniture assembly. If you need the cartons brought to the property, ask about collection and delivery.
Before you book in Kew
Will a hinged wardrobe door clear a window sill in Kew?
Measure the sill projection and the space in front of the opening. Send the frame and door dimensions so the fitter can discuss the position.
Can you use a separate entrance to reach my Kew room?
Tell us who can open it and measure the narrowest part of the route. If there is a step or bend, send a photo.
What if a wardrobe rail arrives the day after my booking?
Tell us which frame it belongs to and what else is complete. We can discuss whether some work can be finished independently.
Can the drawers be fitted lower than shown in my planner?
Share the article references and the planned door and hinge positions. The fitting positions depend on the particular interior and frame.
